I tried a 5712... I really didn't like it
Disclaimer - I'm not brand-bashing here!! Genuine thoughts with full honesty as always. Please don't hate me for it.I'm feeling like there's something not right with me. I've had a lot of watches. A lot. I've been collecting for a long time now, but only recently purchased my first PP. An Aquanaut 5167 on rubber.This watch is everything I didn't expect but in such a good way. I keep saying that the Nautilus has never appealed, but I was expecting, now I've got the Aquanaut, I would try a Nautilus and desperately want one. I understand more about the finishing, overall quality etc now and I'm hooked.So yesterday, I managed to try a 5712 on at a used watch store. In the display case it looked more appealing than the last time I saw one (PPPIMC - Pre-Patek Philippe in my collection ) but as soon as I popped it on my wrist, I really wasn't at all enamoured with it. Not even slightly.I have a 6.75 wrist and found it wore a little awkward, although not terribly so. The dial, IMO just seemed

Better Daily: 5167a or Daytona C?
I am waiting patiently for a Daytona C black dial, but also have been eying the 5167 on rubber. Which of these pieces do you think make a better daily wear with mostly casual attire? Thanks.

Possible 5167 winding issues?
So, I've had my 5167 for just over a month now and i'm absolutely loving it! I just let the power reserve run out and thats when i noticed manual winding seems a bit odd. When i unscrew the crown i seem to have to spin the crown a couple times in the 12 o'clock potion before it catches and starts to wind. Normally i wind by spinning the crown in a 12 to 6 o'clock motion, but in this case as soon as you turn the crown in the 6 o'clock position the crown feels like it's free floating and you can spin it 3-7 times in the 12 o'clock position before you feel it stop at the winding gears. Hopefully i wrote this in a way you guys can understand. Is this normal with the 324 movement? or has anyone heard of this before? Thanks

A Review of my Panerai 390
I wouldn't normally write a review on a forum such as this but as Panerai divides the community both as a brand, it's various models, LE's etc I thought I'd give you my own findings.As with many the brand has apppealed to me for a long time but I was never ready to make a purchase. My interest initially was for a Radiomir, but it just didn't look or feel right on my wrist. 44mm was disappointing, 47mm like a dinner plate. Moving forward a few months and passing Selfrigdes in London I dropped in tried a few Luminor. Suddenly 44mm Luminor made sense, but, manual wind as the auto felt too thick and top-heavy. (47mm too big) Back to the forum to get more advice and most recommend a base dial to start. I did like the 590, but on seeing the 390 I loved the tobacco dial, gold hands, the fact only 2000 were ever made and the fact that it was a base. Within 3 days watch was on my wrist. Yes it's big, yes it's heavy compared to my vintage 1675, but it still fitted under a cuff and flies under th

Rolex Daytona- Seconds hand doesn't move
Good Morning,Hope everyone is doing well and having a great day.So, I have a question for Rolex experts as I've no clue about this watch. I recently bought a Daytona from Bobs watches for my husband and when I received it, I saw its not running as it required winding. I turned the crown clockwise as mentioned in the booklet but the seconds hand doesn't move. It stays at 12:00 position. Can anyone help how to make the seconds hand move. Thanks a lot for all your help.
